Cleaning Closets Can Seem Like an Olympic-Sized Task


 
Keeping your closet clean can seem like an Olympic sized task, so let DayTimeSavers, Personal Assistant Services, help.  We can partner with you to organize and clean your cluttered closet helping you to bring order to your life.


Clothing constantly casts off tiny fibers that mixes with dander and make closets a major source of household dust. Each time the closet door is opened, an invisible cloud of dust is formed. You can’t stop clothes from shedding fibers; but keeping closets clean will greatly cut down on dust.

Enclose items on shelves
Plastic containers are best — they keep dust out and let you see what’s inside additionally they’re easy to take off shelves and clean.

Bag the clothes you rarely wear
Slip garment bags or large garbage bags over clothes you rarely wear or that are out of season. They help to cut down on fibers and keep the clothes themselves from becoming depositories for dust.

Keep floors clear
If the floor is cluttered, you may just bypass it while vacuuming. But a wide-open floor makes cleaning the floor easier and allows you to vacuum the entire closet instead of just the center aisle.

Dog Days of Summer


Dog Days occur during the months of July and August, which typically have the warmest summer temperatures.  The old world belief comes from fact that Sirius, the Dog Star, is in close proximity to the sun and was responsible for the hot weather.
During the dog days of summer, make sure your dog stay hydrated.  Freeze low sodium chicken broth in an ice cube tray for a cool treat.  Because broth does not freeze as solidly as plain water, it is easier on your best friend’s teeth.
